Abstract

It is becoming increasingly urgent that man learn to live with others in a more effective manner in order to combat problems of social, racial, and environmental proportions. There is much speculation but little research to support the notion that one's view of oneself is inextricably interwoven with one's perception of others. This study attempts to clarify some aspects of this issue. The subjects, 150 undergraduate students, weie asked to respond to their feelings about themselves and their beliefs about others. The results indicate small but significant relationships between self-concept scores as measured by the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, and scales measured by the Wnghtsman Philosophy of Human Nature Scale. In general, those who view themselves in a more positive fashion tend to have a higher regard for others.
